KarishmaBHi Experts,
I took my GMAT yesterday and scored 630 (Q 44 V 31 IR 5). I have been preparing full-time for Gmat for the past 1.5 months. I am 100 points short of my target score of 730 points. Please guide to how I can improve my score from here in 2 months. Now, I am completely stuck in my preparation and unable to figure out how to move forward from here.
Below are my mock scores: GMAT Prep 1-> (Cold Mock) Q48 V 27 Written in June
MGMAT 1 Q 40 V 33 ~ 3 weeks from the actual test
Gmat Prep 2 -> Q 49 V22 ~ 2 week from actual test.
GMAT Prep 1 (reset) Q 49 V 32 - (3-4) Repeat questions ~ 1 weeks from actual test.
Actual GMAT Score 630 Q 44 V 31 IR 5

Materials used GMAT ninja YouTube videos and other YouTube videos for Verbal. OG 2022 for verbal questions.
Exam Day Shortcomings: 1. I had to rush in the VA section in the last quarter with ~ 1 mins left for each question. I am able to complete the section but had to rush in the last passage with some guessing.
2. In quant, I could not manage my time and had to guess last 5-6 answers. Also, I was not able to mark the 31st question. Thus, I had completed only 30/31 questions in quant.
3. I am stuck on 2-3 questions in quarter 2 in quant, that took my significant time, and led to poor time management in the quant section.
The verbal score is in line with my mock scores. But I am confused about why my quant score has dropped significantly w.r.t to my practice mocks quant scores.
Please help on what can I do to improve my shortcomings.
I want to reach the level of Q 50 and V40 to achieve my target score of 730.
Also, please guide on improving my time management in the exam. Thank you.
